Just a few photos from our LA trip last week... in which most of it was spent APARTMENT HUNTING! That's right. We are moving to Los Angeles! Oh, and double announcement: I'm going back to school!

I'm attending the Fashion Institute of Merchandising and Design (FIDM) for Merchandise Marketing and I could not be more excited. This is something I've thought about a lot after I graduated at ASU. I knew I always wanted to work in the fashion industry, and I've always wanted to go to FIDM to get the skills and connections necessary to do that. A month after we moved to Japan (last May), I had an epiphany and realized I just needed to take the plunge and do it. I applied, and got accepted! A year later, here I am, making my preparations. My term starts in July, so we'll be moving in less than a month.

We're sending our application today for a really cute (and really tiny!) studio apartment in downtown LA. We're really excited for this fun, new chapter in our lives. I'm so thankful to have such a supportive husband who is up for adventures all the time.

AHHHHHHH!! This sounds so exciting! First off, CONGRATS on your acceptance to FIDM! This is so awesome and I can't wait to hear all about the school projects. I can only imagine how exciting this whole schooling experience is going to be.

what?!?! i'm so very jealous! i've always wanted to live in LA. and FIDM? let me know if you see Lauren Conrad walking around. alumni and everything, ha!many congratulations, girl! and i really need to get around and see moonrise kingdom. it looks darling!xo TJ

Congratulations on going back to school and how exciting to be moving to LA! I just recently found your blog and flipped through some of your older posts. Your style is so nice and I love japan just like you - how lucky you are to have lived there for a whole year!! I visited once before and dream of going back again. Love love love it!

Good luck moving to LA! I love LA - lots of great food, style, and things to do. I'm sure you will love it. Can't wait to see and follow all the adventures you have there in your blog :D

it is so cool that your husband referenced the same talk! hopefully you got a chance to listen to the whole thing! i kind of felt like you were going to say you were moving, how exciting! coincidentally, i started a fashion design program really recently too! it was really a struggle at first to decide to do it knowing i had started an education degree and at one point a nursing degree, neither of which i really wanted to do. my bf was so supportive and kept telling me to do what i was passionate about and so i too just took the plunge because i know it is what i am passionate about, so you go girl!! good luck on the apt application!

Oh man! We are too similar! I have a degree in supply chain management, which will be complementary to my program, but I knew I wanted more than that. It was a hard decision to make because it's a big move that requires lots of sacrifice and risk, but I knew I had to try, or else I would regret it for the rest of my life. That is awesome that you are following your dreams as well! Go us :D

Haha thanks girl! I'm excited to see what fashion school is like... I went to business school for college before this and it was BORESVILLE. Just kidding. (Kind of.) And I am so excited to be living in LA! It's such a big change from the open suburbs where I'm from, but I'm definitely ready to explore all the shops and restaurants :D
